I have went back to work this year so I have had to do some major adjusting between the kids and work, while still being devoted to spending time with my husband when we can. I noticed we have started eating out more since I have started going back to work. I don't like wasting the money, and I know that if we didn't eat out as often, we would definitely notice it in our waistlines and overall health. I have lost about 15lbs since I started working back in April though, so I won't gripe about that. I am slowly getting closer and closer to 200lbs. I have a gym membership, but haven't always had a chance to use it between work and the kids. First things first though. I need to start tracking again so I don't put junk in my body! The better I feel, the more likely I will be able to move more and exercise more consistently!http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=41767176alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=41767176#commentsWed, 26 Aug 2015 14:56:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=41767176low calorie dietLosing weightMy Birthday has came and gone, and so has ...My Birthday has came and gone, and so has the cake! However, I still have many cupcakes left over... I haven't been as good as I should have this week, but my weight didn't get out of control. I have been doing some excessing cleaning that has accounted for my exercise this week. I got the kids a puppy, and it had FLEAS!!! I bought it off a lady that claimed it was housebroken and an inside dog, but I found out otherwise from her mother that is was not. Her mother claimed it was an outside dog 80% of the time, explaining the fleas, and why it isn't house broken. Anyhow, we have had the dog about a week, so I have been busting my but to take care of the fleas before they get out of hand, shampooing all carpets, vacuuming religiously, and washing all clothes and bedding, and spraying flea spray everywhere. Anyhow, today my mother gets her 3rd chemo for her 2nd battle today. I will look up to her and use her as my inspiration today. She is fighting for her life, I can fight my battle with food, and I will win! (Dammit, I already ate a cookie today before 8am..lol) On to breakfast. http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=35604218alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=35604218#commentsMon, 02 Mar 2015 14:03:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=35604218low calorie dietLosing weightI haven't been tracking as well as I should, ...I haven't been tracking as well as I should, but I have seen consistent, steady weight loss! Justt started adding strength training to my workout routine every other day, starting today. Feeling stronger! 2 more pounds to go and I will be able to reward myself with a new haircut and i will also be 10 pounds lighter! :Dhttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34591662alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34591662#commentsSat, 31 Jan 2015 19:56:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34591662low calorie dietJournal entryAlmost weigh in day!! I am ready to see how ...Almost weigh in day!! I am ready to see how much weight I have lost since I began. I feel better already just incorporating exercise into my routine. I must say that I also receive a sense of self accomplishment I feel when I don't go over my calories. I have also found it's easier, AND FREE, to count calories rather than do weight watchers. Weight watchers made me lose weight when nothing else would 2 years ago. That just doesn't work for me at this time right now because I cannot get motivated to do so on their program. I have been feeling fuller on this diet as well- love my fiber! I will not give up. I will conquer this weight loss. http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34221660alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34221660#commentsWed, 21 Jan 2015 15:06:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34221660low calorie dietJournal entryDay 1 was pretty good. I actually doubted ...Day 1 was pretty good. I actually doubted that I could count calories at first. I thought I would be starving all day. I did find that I was a little hungrier toward the afternoon, but I think it was because I didn't allow myself enough fiber to hold me over til dinner. Will try something a little different today. Already squeezed my breakfast in and go a short workout in, but hey, something is better than nothing. I am not aiming too high for my fitness goals at the moment, but being realistic. My goals are just to have no zero days. And what I mean by no zero days is that there shouldn't be a day where I don't take 5 minutes or more just to do some type of exercise! SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!! On the show the Doctor's they said that just 5 minutes a day of cardio will have vast improvements on your life and cardiovascular health. It feels best to squeeze in some squats or some jumping jacks here and there just when I feel like I am getting "slumpy" feeling. I am trying to change my lifestyle, and the only way to do it is by baby steps. I think that if I do this to drastically, I will get burned out too quickly like I normally do. Plus, I really want that haircut. Not sure how I am going to cut it, but I have 10lbs to lose before I can even get one, so I have some time to choose. Anyhow, happy Saturday!http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34062411alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34062411#commentsSat, 17 Jan 2015 12:30:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34062411low calorie dietJournal entryWell it's been a couple years since I have ...Well it's been a couple years since I have been on here, but I have had two babies! Ready to rock and roll and get this weight off. My kids are 3 and 10 months. No more kids for a while, so no reason not to get this body ready for summer! Alright. My first goal is to get a hair cut. I have to lose 10 lbs before I am allowed to do so!http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34031462alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34031462#commentsFri, 16 Jan 2015 13:55:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=34031462low calorie dietSteady weightWell.... I let the Holidays get the best ...Well.... I let the Holidays get the best of me... UGH.. and i gained 2.5 lbs.. that sucks.... why is it so much easier to gain weight than lose it??? My Fiance didn't do so hot either.. lol.. we are both trying to diet. Anyhow... even though I did give in and eat all the things I vowed not to eat, I was still proud of myself. I learned more from this experience than anything. Rule #1--Don't stand near the appetizer tray or deserts and talk to family while waiting for the bird to get done. (I did this and some mindless munching on many things I wish I hadn't at my mom's house.) Rule #2. Don't go back and get seconds because everything is soooo good or you didn't get to taste everything on your first plate. Try to sample everything on your first plate and get very small portions, just enough to taste. ( I didn't get seconds at my mothers on Saturday! Go me! I usually go back and get more. I let my food sit, and I felt I didn't need to get more) Rule #3--Just because there are leftovers, you don't have to take them home. (I was always taught not to waste food, and I knew that if I didn't take some leftovers, that it would go to waste. I couldn't do that knowing there are people starving in other countries. At my mother in laws I took some food home on Thursday, and by Saturday I was ready to take some more home. I didn't plan on taking anything but turkey home, however, it just didn't play out that way. -At my soon-to-be mother-in-law's house, I started off good...but went downhill. I avoided potatoes and bread for like 3 hours, then I ate some crescent rolls... :( I didn't do so well on what I took home either. I got some turkey, my low-carb deviled eggs and some salad. Except I was guilted into taking home some cracked bread... for those who have never eaten it, it is like a loaf of bread, slice 3/4 the way down and in between each slice it is layered with melter cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. No one ate any while we were there (most everyone was on a diet) so I took some home. I should have just thrown it in the trash when I go home to keep from eating it, but I didn't.. I ate it. My little voice in the back of my mind kept saying "there are starving people....." BLAH! ok. --At my mom's I did good when I fixed my plate, didn't go back for seconds.. but like I told you earlier... I did some mindless munching before hand at the appetizer and cookie table... so ruined that before I started. And to top things off, my mother made me some extra plates to take home with me. Deserts and all. :/ Well it took me about 3 days to eat all the leftovers and so here I am trying to get back on the wagon.. Yesterday I went to the grocery and stocked up on all my healthy food again and started the day off right. Here's to getting back on the wagon!http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13415647alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13415647#commentsWed, 28 Nov 2012 14:55:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13415647Low Carb High Protein (MD Diet)Gaining weightI went way over my carb intake today..I ate ...I went way over my carb intake today..I ate healthy thought. It wasn't junk or pasta; it was vegetables. I ate two helpings of salads for dinner. Over all not a blown diet day, so making sure I do good tomorrow too. To get me started, i bought some Stevia sweetener packets for my coffee... been doing without my coffee and that is not fun. Anyhow, Happy Turkey day to everyone!http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13303753alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13303753#commentsThu, 22 Nov 2012 07:48:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13303753Low Carb High Protein (MD Diet)Journal entryUgh!

This is the first time I have ever done a low carb high protein diet and I feel full~ ALL THE TIME! I can't wait for my vacation day tho! I would love some desert! Would like to wait until Sunday, but Thursday or Saturday will probably be one of the days I eat some kind of junk food. Not both, but one of those days.http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13292201alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13292201#commentsWed, 21 Nov 2012 15:33:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13292201Low Carb High Protein (MD Diet)Losing weightToday has been pretty good. Got up pretty ...Today has been pretty good. Got up pretty early, approximately 5:15am, and headed to class. This semester is almost over and Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!! The holidays are my worst enemy. I really want to eat all the traditional foods that are served at my family's house, but I don't want to break my diet. I plan to fill up on turkey and deviled eggs mostly... :S However it is 2:30pm, early in the day, and I have just consumed my last carb.. ahhhh.. lol looks like I better thaw some chicken for dinner. Have I mentioned I love love love this website! It gives me recipes and tells me exactly how many carbs are in each serving :D Anyhow, I hope to meet a lot of friends on this site. http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13277243alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13277243#commentsTue, 20 Nov 2012 20:32:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13277243Low Carb High Protein (MD Diet)Journal entryWe had my daughter's first birthday party ...We had my daughter's first birthday party this weekend. I ate some cake and pizza of course and drank 1 soda this weekend. Then we had our Thanksgiving at my house today for my fiance's son since we don't get him for Thanksgiving holiday. I pigged out a little today, but I am going to promise to do much better this coming week.http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13239589alimarie19http://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13239589#commentsMon, 19 Nov 2012 00:06:00 GMThttp://www.fatsecret.com/Default.aspx?pa=memnd&id=13239589Low Carb High Protein (MD Diet)Journal entryI enjoy this diet quite a bit; I think it ...I enjoy this diet quite a bit; I think it will be something I will be able to stick too. Also I bought a dozen eggs last night and boiled the whole case to keep in my fridge for snacks!
